    Mother 156k 1.2 8v mk2 clio

    How long is a bit of string realy. 156k though is good going and assiming its been serviced regularly and goes on long journeys ie gets hot then it could go for another 150k maybe. Even if the engine or box etc does need changing you could get a whole new engine and box for a few hundred...

    Service/courtesy car Q

    Renault dealership will give you a car fror free but they often have a problem with under 21 and I had to (when they realised I was under 21) to get my own insurance company to give me a cover note. Most companies cover you though is the cars in for warently work. £225 is a good price though...

    AUX input using CD changer on 182

    Nope there isnt one as far as Im aware it would require a complicated bit of equipment to do that as your have to encode the signal and make it act like it was a cd. Only options would be to cut into the looms and take over the speakers as such. Its illegal but you could make the signal into...

    general 182 questions/opinions

    Could just be your not used to it. If the valves hit the pistons youd know when it all goes bang. Stock valves springs are good for ~9.2k before they hit the pistons. Other bits wont live at that sort of RPM though.

    Serv and Airbag light on

    Renault will fix it under warently its a common problem due to cheap usless Renault electricalians. Renault will just cut the errr brown (I think) wire out and solder a new wire in which will stop it.

    seat belt beeping stopped

    I dont recomend pulling the lead though as in a crash the airbags set off differently if your belted up then not belted up and it could end up hurting yourself a lot.

    Whooops

    I think they looked into buying a new shell and rebuilding it. Since a new shell isnt that bad priced at somehting like £1.5k I think if theres not much else wrong with it it would make an excellent cheap Williams.

    seat belt beeping stopped

    You can disconnect the seatbelt noist by pulling the black wire from the loom in the belt so the computer thinks you have youe belt on all the time. I dont recommend it though. Earlier models dont have the buzzing noise bit added into the car.

    Testing auto-levelling lights

    Put the car infront of a brick wall and measure where the ligths are. Then sit on the boot. The rear axle has a sensor on it and will/should recognise the rear axle getting lower. Dealerships can adjust the lights using there computers.
